After leaving Liangzhou City, they traveled continuously during the day and spent most of the night sleeping in the wild.

One month later, Yangzhou City.

"Okay, let's go." After the soldiers guarding the city checked that there was no problem with the pass, they allowed three horse-drawn carriages and one ox cart to enter the city.

"Uncle San, let's go." Xiao Li took the pass, called out to Xiao Lao San who was behind him, gently let go of the reins, and the horse slowly walked towards the city.

"I know, Li'er. Uncle San is watching you. He won't lose you." After Xiao Lao San responded, he greeted Shen Congzhou who was behind him, "Mr. Shen, let's go into the city."

At the beginning, Shen Congzhou was not used to speaking so loudly, but later he found that it was indeed fast and convenient, and he was forced to get used to it.

"I understand, Third Master." Shen Congzhou swung the reins and followed. He seemed to be looking ahead intently, but in fact, his peripheral vision had already begun to look around.

This was not his first time in Yangzhou. Nothing had happened at home, and he had come here to play with his brother before. It had only been four or five years ago, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.

There was no one left alive in the family except him and his brother who was missing in the northern border at the time.

After becoming a criminal slave, he also passed by this place. At that time, he was seriously injured and had a cough. He felt that he probably would not live long, so he did not look around carefully.

Besides him, everyone else was also looking around.

But this time, Lu Yuan and Baoger both wore a layer of gauze on their faces to avoid being seen by others.

Xiao Li found a broker, gave him half a tael of silver, and then took everyone to the largest inn in Yangzhou City to stay.

"Sir, how long would you like to stay?" The waiter stood attentively by the side and watched the group get off the carriage, and asked Xiao Li, who was in the lead.

Xiao Li had just carried Xiao Fulang and Bao Ge'er down and asked Xiao Fulang to help Lin Qing. Then he turned around and looked at Xiao Er while holding Bao Ge'er. "Is there a separate courtyard?"

"Yes, yes, sir. Follow me." The waiter counted the number of people in the group with his peripheral vision as he walked, and led them to a courtyard with two entrances. "Sir, what do you think of this place? If you're not satisfied, we have a separate two-story building in the inn, but it's not as spacious as this courtyard..."

Xiao Li nodded, and Niu Dahe stepped forward to give him the silver and asked the waiter to do other things.

It was like this all the way, and the Xiao family went from being uncomfortable at first to gradually getting used to it.

After all, the shock was much smaller than when they first found out that these were people bought by their Li'er.

Just like in Liangzhou City, the Xiao family lived in one courtyard, and the rest of the people lived in another courtyard. They were clearly separated, yet inseparable.

After returning Baoger to Xiao Laosan and his wife, Xiao Li took her young husband back to the house.

As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, Lu Yuan couldn't help but take off her veil and outer clothes, and threw herself onto the soft bed.

"Xiao Si, this bed is so comfortable!" While speaking, the boy rubbed his rosy face on the pillow like a cat.

Xiao Li was used to living in the afterlife. Seeing this, he went over and picked him up, wiping his red face with a handkerchief. "I don't know how many people have lain here, and Yuan'er doesn't mind it being dirty."

"Where is it dirty?" Lu Yuan was just being stubborn. After hearing what he said, she didn't like the bed that she had just thought was incredibly soft and comfortable anymore. "It has nothing to do with me if the bed is dirty!"

"Yes, yes, it's all the bed's fault. It has nothing to do with Yuan'er." Xiao Li pinched his face amusedly. "Okay, sit still. I'll change the things on the bed."

"I can help." Lu Yuan volunteered to follow.

In later lives, Xiao Li didn't like others entering his house, so he basically cleaned his house by himself, and changing his four-piece suit was no problem at all.

However, seeing that his young husband wanted to help, he did not refuse. When putting the quilt cover on, he asked his young husband to help hold the two corners, and then they spread the quilt out together.

I asked him to put pillowcases on the pillows and make the bed myself.

The two of them moved quickly and packed up quickly. When they left, except for Niu Dahe and his wife, no one else had come out yet.

"Young Master, are we going to cook lunch ourselves? Or should we ask the kitchen at the inn to deliver it?" Aunt Xianglan had just cleaned up the kitchen and came out and asked Xiao Li when she saw him.

After traveling for a month, if Xiao Li hadn't brought some contraband with him, given them diluted spiritual spring water to drink, and let them eat all kinds of dried meat and canned fruits, I'm afraid none of them would have been able to bear it.

So Xiao Li thought for a moment and simply said, "Everyone has worked hard on the journey. Let's take a break for the next two days. Let the inn send food over. If you want to go out for a walk when you have nothing to do, you can do it."

Aunt Xianglan was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily and touchedly and replied, "Oh! I understand, sir. I'll have my headmistress talk to the waiter about this."

Xiao Li nodded, and sat in the main room with Lu Yuan to rest, waiting for others to come out.

Aunt Xianglan discussed this with Niu Dahe, and at the end, she didn't forget to praise Xiao Li a few words, "Our young master is so kind-hearted. What other servants are treated this way? Not only does he eat the same food as the master, but he also lets us rest when the master rests. He is truly the best young master in the world."

Niu Dahe was also Xiao Li's brainless fan, and he agreed with this very much, "Young Master is naturally the best. We will work hard and do whatever Young Master asks us to do. When we are old, we don't have to worry about no one to see us off."

Although the young master only said that he would provide for their old age and did not say that he would see them to the end of their lives, in his opinion, as long as they could live well while they were alive, they would not care too much about what happened after their death.

When Xiao Li heard the two talking, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Although he is not short of money, providing for others in their old age is no big deal, and he doesn't care even if the other party doesn't know how to be grateful. But if the other party thinks it is their right, then how to provide for them in their old age remains to be seen.

When everyone came out, the lunch sent by the inn arrived.

The waiter received the reward and was now very happy to introduce the things about Yangzhou City to them.

Everyone asked what they were interested in and decided to take a night off and go somewhere to play tomorrow.

Xiao Li was also thinking about it.

Yangzhou City is the capital of Yangzhou and the closest state to Liangzhou.

However, whether it is Yangzhou or Liangzhou, compared with the fertile Central Plains, the three states north of Qinghe are notoriously barren, and each one is poorer than the other.

Liangzhou, the northernmost province, is the worst among them. Huaizhou, which is often harassed by pirates and bandits as it borders the sea, is second. Yangzhou, which is adjacent to Qinghe and is only separated from the Central Plains by a river, has the best situation, but it is also the tallest among the short ones.

Compared with the Central Plains area south of Qinghe, the three northern states are poor, so poor that the aristocratic families don't bother to set their sights on this area.

But in his opinion, Yangzhou's geographical location is actually very good.
